Other than the ghastly mistake of dyeing William Holden's hair blonde, this is a wonderfully acted movie that pulls at the heart strings. At first, you wonder what the heck they were thinking about when they cast Humphrey Bogart in the role of Linus. Then light dawns and you understand that the role of Linus must be played by someone who seems a bit out of character while romancing Sabrina. I love the household staff (all great character actors) who are Sabrina's extended adopted family.

Definatly a classic! Plus if you love Audrey Hepburn this is one of her great films. Also it's totally a chick flick! Overall great film.

If you like classic movies or Audrey Hepburn (who doesn't?), this is a must-see. Hepburn is absolutely wonderful as Sabrina, and both Bogart and Holden make both of their characters uniquely annoying in the way that makes it difficult to find out what Sabrina is going to eventually do about her situation with the family. Both this and the modern version (with Harrison Ford) are excellent films telling the same story.
